Reading Practices in Europe — part I. Ancient Greece

<p>These days I am greatly interested in the issues of reading and history of the changes which occurred in the reading practices. How people switched from reading aloud to silent reading? Why reading became popular? When people began to read for pleasure? This post is my first attempt to find answers to these questions. It is the start of a series of posts devoted to the history of reading practices in different epochs of the European history. I will start with specifics of reading in the ancient world and trace the history up until modernity. I am also planning to devote a separate series of posts about the history of reading solely in Russia.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/thought-thinkers/reading-practices-in-europe-part-i-ancient-greece-4301dccc3990"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
